After a night out, I woke up on at my mate's house. Having been responsible enough to leave the car…read moreat home I began to make tracks. On top of the first incline I found myself in need of food, luckily enough I knew there was a bakery nearby. Being the first time at the Hilltop bakery for some reason I thought it was going to be stocked with the post night nosh I needed. I mean there was heaps of bread but the place was shy on any variety of savoury goods. The only option, the cheese and bacon rolls were practically naked of topping and cost me $3. When I asked for the roll with the most bacon and cheese on it I was informed that they remove from the rear of the display racks first. Sill woozy from the previous night's activities and tired from the walk I just took what I got and left. I didn't have enough gusto left to argue.

It's worth the adventure into the depths of Newmarket, even if just for the French accent that will greet you if one do the owners are working that day. Having visited a few times now I'm always tempted by the mini pain au raisins or chocolate croissants. It gives the illusions that it's less calories but with all the taste of a full-size version.

The food is delicious and…read morepotentially not ideal for the waistline simply because there is so much I would love to eat here. The baked goods are all handmade with top quality ingredients and you can tell the difference. They have a variety of cakes, danish, croissants, pastries and a host of other treats. I don't mind the coffee, the one I had I would give a 3 and a half out of 5, but not too bad. It is a fantastic place to go for cakes if you are entertaining at home or for a coffee and a croissant of a weekend morning. When I have been, the staff are lovely and service is quite fast, without feeling like you are being hurried out the door.

Located in Stafford Central, Tilly's CONTINENTAL Bakery is always pumping. This primarily is due to…read morethe influx of labourers and construction workers on the new Airport link and Northern Bus way. In the mornings, on my way to work, I often duck in to grab a grain roll to have with my packed lunch. I walk amongst the tables filled with high-vis clad gentlemen wishing I could pull up at a table. Although I don't envy the work of the labourers, I do sometimes covet their choices of morning meals, especially bulk servings of Tilly's Big Breakfast that consists of bacon, eggs, sausages, toast, mushrooms and roasted tomatoes ($16.95). If it's the weekend and I'm not under the man's clock, I like to indulge in one of their vast range of home made pies. If I don't time it right there isn't many (if any) left. Still, Tilly's is more than a bakery, it's a café that serves pretty decent coffees and it has an extended menu that caters for those who like a pizza. On Friday nights they are open until late so you can dig into one of their pizzas and listen to live and local acoustic musicians. The staff is always happy to oblige and very friendly to their customers, even if they are rushed off their feet. Having one cash register doesn't help things always run smoothly but its easily forgiven when you're smashing something down from Tilly's.

This is my local bakery and as such I wanted to give it my custom. Sadly, on the 10 visits I have…read moremade to it in the last 4 months, I cannot recommend it. Either the ladies serving are outright rude or they have packed the food away more than 20 minutes before closing time and won't serve me at all. The food I have managed to acquire was decent but not out of the ordinary. I see many of the same people there on my visits or when I walk past so the customer service must be good for some. Unfortunately, not for me or my family.

There are a wide range of tasty and beautiful cupcakes to take away or eat in with a coffee and have a chat with friends.

Every time I have bought some of these they are a talking point at the get together.

I hadn't seen it before so I had to go in. The smells of freshly baked good flooded out of the doorway as I approached and when I entered I was stoked by what I saw. A cornucopia of cupcakes, breads, cakes and pies all met me. The hardest thing for me was to choose something. In the end I got half a dozen cupcakes of various flavours and looks and when I got hot to my wife we devoured them like greedy children. What a discovery. No more will I have go to the unnamed chain that has the prime spot on the main road. I have found a place that makes homemade savoury delights with some love and care. Thank you very much Sweetie Pies.

I've frequented Everton Park Plaza all my life and I can always remember staring at the cupcakes at Sweetie Pies, begging my mother to get me one because they were so yummy. She sometimes gave in and when she did, I was in heaven. It has to compete with Brumby's around the corner but I think Sweetie Pies is a real local treasure in Everton Park. There are always yummy cupcakes and cakes wrapped up and ready to go for any passer-by and as a local business, I am more than willing to support them and commend them for their lovely food and ridiculously cheap prices. If you're in the area swing by and find out what I'm talking about.
